Surface Superconductivity¶in Applied Magnetic Fields Above HC2

In this paper we study the surface superconductivity phenomenon of type 2 superconductors under applied magnetic fields above the critical field . We show that, for a cylindrical superconductor of infinite height placed in a homogeneous applied magnetic field, H e ₃, with H lying in between and keeping away from and , superconductivity persists uniformly at a thin sheath surrounding the entire lateral surface of the sample. As the applied field decreases gradually, superconductivity in the surface sheath becomes strong and develops into a surface superconducting state, while the interior of the sample remains close to the normal state.

Saturation of the Substorm Mode by Magnetic Trapping

The purely growing electromagnetic instability, which was proposed by the author in an earlier publication as the onset mechanism for an isolated substorm, is shown to get saturated by the trapping of particles in the magnetic potential of the wave. The quasilinear diffusion plays a secondary role and is responsible for the generation of a high energy tail.     

Flux States,Anyons and High Tc Superconductivity

In this paper, we studied the statistical behavior of anyons with isospin degrees of freedom, in which the fluctuation of isospjn degrees of freedom satisfies the O(3) nonlinear σ model. Under the mean field treatment, this model is in somewhat equivalent to the doped or frustrated Heisenberg an tiferromagnetic (AFM) model. We also studied the relation between the statistical field A_μ, and Skyrmion current B_μ. Finally, we set up the relation between flux states and spinon statistics, and the conditions of Bose condensation of holons. In particular, for π-flux state of A_μ, the spinons are bosons, the holons satisfy 2/3 fractional statistics.     

On the Coexistence of Superconductivity and Magnetic Ordering in Unconventional Superconductors

It is demonstrated that the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic ordering, occurring, for instance, in iron-based pnictides and uranium compounds, is not forbidden by classical Maxwell’s equations and London-type equations. It predicts simply that internal magnetization is allowed but localized magnetic moments are screened at distances of the order of the London penetration depth. A microscopic theory is considered for the case of ferromagnetic ordering, described in simple terms by electron-magnon coupling. For the sake of simplicity, we assume that itinerant electrons are not responsible for the magnetic ordering, but interact with phonon and magnon excitations, leading to an alternative Cooper pair channel. The temperature dependence and the isotope effect of the superconducting gap is also analysed.     

On Bosonic Magnetic Flux Operator and Bosonic Faraday Operator Formula

In the literature about mesoscopic Josephson devices the magnetic flux is considered as an operator, the fundamental commutative relation between the magnetic flux operator and the Cooper-pair charge operator is usually preengaged. In this paper we show that such a relation can be deduced from the basic Bose operators＇ commutative relation through the entangled state representation. The Faraday formula in bosonic form is then equivalent to the second Josephson equation. The current operator equation for LC mesoscopic circuit is also derived.     

Optical Trapping with Focused Surface Waves

Near-field optical trapping can be realized with focused evanescent waves that are excited at the water–glass interface due to the total internal reflection, or with focused plasmonic waves excited on the water–gold interface. Herein, the performance of these two kinds of near-field optical trapping techniques is compared using the same optical microscope configuration. Experimental results show that only a single-micron polystyrene bead can be trapped by the focused evanescent waves, whereas many beads are simultaneously attracted to the center of the excited region by focused plasmonic waves. This difference in trapping behavior is analyzed from the electric field intensity distributions of these two kinds of focused surface waves and the difference in trapping behavior is attributed to photothermal effects due to the light absorption by the gold film.     

Effects of Boundary Curvature on Surface Superconductivity

We investigate, within 2D Ginzburg-Landau theory, the ground state of a type-II superconducting cylinder in a parallel magnetic field varying between the second and third critical values. In this regime, superconductivity is restricted to a thin shell along the boundary of the sample and is to leading order constant in the direction tangential to the boundary. We exhibit a correction to this effect, showing that the curvature of the sample affects the distribution of superconductivity.     

Magnetic Properties of SO(5) Superconductivity

The distinction between type I and type II superconductivity is reexamined in the context of the SO(5) model recently put forth by Zhang. Whereas in conventional superconductivity only one parameter (the Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ) characterizes the model, in the SO(5) model there are two essential parameters. These can be chosen to be κ and another parameter, β, related to the doping. There is a more complicated relation between κ and the behavior of a superconductor in a magnetic field. In particular, one can find type I superconductivity, even when κ is large, for appropriate values of β.     

Topological Quantization of the Magnetic Flux

The quantization of the magnetic flux in superconducting rings is studied in the frame of a topological model of electromagnetism that gives a topological formulation of electric charge quantization. It turns out that the model also embodies a topological mechanism for the quantization of the magnetic flux with the same relation between the fundamental units of magnetic charge and flux as there is between the Dirac monopole and the fluxoid.     

Local Observation of Field Polarity Dependent Flux Pinning by Magnetic Dipoles

A scanning Hall probe microscope is used to study flux pinning in a thin superconducting Pb film covering a square array of single-domain Co dots with in-plane magnetization. We show that single flux quanta of opposite sign thread the superconducting film below T(c) at the opposite poles of these dipoles. Depending on the polarity of the applied field, flux lines are attracted to a specific pole of the dipoles, due to the direct interaction with the vortexlike structures induced by the local stray field.

Magnetic Flux Quantization of the Landau Problem

Landau problem has a very important application in modern physics, in which two-dimensional electron gas system and quantum Hall effect are outstanding. In this paper, first we review the solution of the Pauli equation, then using the single electron wave function, we calculate moving area expectations of the ideal 2-dimensional electron gas system and the per unit area’s degeneracy of the electron gas system. As a result, how to calculate the magnetic flux of the electron gas system is given. It shows that the magnetic flux of 2-dimensional electron gas system in magnetic field is quantized, and magnetic flux quantization results from the quantization of the moving area expectations of electron gas system.

Proximity-Induced Superconductivity in New Superstructures on 2H-NbSe_2 Surface

Using scanning tunneling microscopy we observe a stripe phase smoothly interfacing with a triangular 2×2 superstructure on the surface of 2 H-NbSe_2 single crystal. Proximity-induced superconductivity is demonstrated in these new ordered structures by measurements of low-temperature tunneling spectra. The modulation of superconductivity by the reconstruction provides an opportunity to understand the interplay between superconductivity and charge orders.

Superconductivity and Fermi Surface Anisotropy in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide NbTe_2

Transition metal dichalcogenides, featuring layered structures, have aroused enormous interest as a platform for novel physical phenomena and a wide range of potential applications. Among them, special interest has been placed upon WTe_2 and MoTe_2, which exhibit non-trivial topology both in single layer and bulk as well as pressure induced or enhanced superconductivity. We study another distorted IT material NbTe_2 through systematic electrical transport measurements. Intrinsic superconductivity with onset transition temperature(T_c~(onset)) up to 0.72 K is detected where the upper critical field(H_c) shows unconventional quasi-linear behavior,indicating spin-orbit coupling induced p-wave paring. Furthermore, a general model is proposed to fit the angledependent magnetoresistance, which reveals the Fermi surface anisotropy of NbTe_2. Finally, non-saturating linear magnetoresistance up to 50 T is observed and attributed to the quantum limit transport.     

On the Possibility of Superconductivity in Bilayer Heterostructures

A model is created for bilayer heterostructures in a strong magnetic field which makes it possible to neglect the Coulomb interaction. The thermodynamic instability of states of the electron system in a strong magnetic field leads to the formation of a periodic vortex lattice. The case is considered where the electron density is close to the density of the half-filled Landau level. An electron spectrum is found and an analog of the Cooper effect appearing under the Bogoliubov canonical transformation for electron Fermi operators is studied.
